The full sampler is 12 1/2" wide by 52"
the top half......
... the bottom half...
the first block was needleturn... lots of tiny little pieces....
then a row of little 1/2" hexie flowers.....
some stitching and words
I changed the wording to reflect more about what I feel about sewing....
I love the little house with the garden
alphabet and numbers aswell
and a chain of hexies
I think my favourite is this blue cross stitch with daisies and leaves
... but the baskets are cute too - little baskets - 3" squares
and finally a medallion of hexies with a garland of daisies
This pattern is called Times Gone By and is by Helen Stubbings from hugs 'n kisses
I was kindly passed on the pattern from Marina... and now it is going to Jeanette.... I hope you enjoy making it as much as I have....
Righto, Gotto Go... my alphabet bears are feeling neglected!!

Just GOOOOORRRGEOUS!! I love your sampler. I think you did an EXCELLENT job. Now you have to work your quilting magic on it. Oh I can't wait!!
Hello Fiona,
Ooh aah I love it. Seeing you changed the wording to suit you I think a little unpicking of the word unknown and then stitch Fiona there instead. Have fun with the quilting.
Happy days.
